The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Proposal
Eleana somehow managed to return to the banquet hall without being caught by Lucia or Eduardo. Her breathing was haggard due to running so fast. For a moment, she almost forgot that she was pregnant. Eleana touched her forehead to check if she was sweating or not. To her surprise, her forehead was covered with sweat. Eleana didn't even have time to wipe off her sweat when she heard heavy footsteps coming in her direction, making her eyes go wide. She quickly stepped inside the banquet while using the back of her hand to wipe off as much of her sweat as she could. She felt relieved when she spotted Amara, who frowned at her. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you for a while." Amara inquired while walking up to her. Eleanor forced a smile at her. "Wait, what happened to you?" Amara added again, looking at Eleana's slightly messy appearance. Eleana grabbed her hand before pulling her into the crowd. She had to be back at the table before they came back here. "I was in the w
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Mission
It was finally the day when Andres and Idalia's engagement would take place. It was a big day for Santoro and Eleana. Eleana wanted to talk to Leonardo about whatever she witnessed because, right now, he was the only man she trusted in the family. She didn't even trust her grandfather fully. Eleana checked her phone to check the time before getting out of her room. Ayden had already landed in Sicily and was busy taking care of an important business. He would be here at any moment after he was done with the task. Eleana walked down the staircase carefully while sending a text. She looked around, only to find everyone engrossed in the preparation. Since the engagement banquet would take place in the back of the villa, everyone was moving back and forth to finish everything on time. Eleana again checked her phone to see how much time she had. The engagement ceremony would start at 6 in the evening. So she had around eight hours left. Ms. Santoro is expecting your presence in his office

Eleana returned to the Santoro Villa with Ayden after finishing her task in the hospital. There were only two hours left till the engagement ceremony, which caused her to rush to the washroom as soon as she reached her room. After taking a quick shower, Eleana began to get ready for the party.She stood in front of her vanity, her reflection framed by the gentle glow of the dressing room's golden chandelier. Her fingers softly touched the assortment of garments hanging on the polished metal rail of the wardrobe. She chose a gown that shimmered like moonlit water, with cascading sequins that mimicked the starlit sky, after a moment's thought. Since it was an extravagant party, Eleana was certain that everyone would dress to impress. That's why she decided to pay extra attention to her appearance. Ayden was here too; it's been forever since they enjoyed an occasion together.Eleana slipped into the gown with ease, the fabric wrapping around her like a second skin. The neckline dipped ge

Eleana took a quick look around before taking a step towards Ayden and grabbing his arm. She pushed open the door to an empty room before closing it behind them. Ayden, on the other hand, did not object and allowed her to do everything she wanted. Eleana finally turned around to face Ayden, who was waiting for her a few steps away."What has changed? Why are you telling me this now? She lowered her arms on both sides before asking him. As he glanced at her, Ayden's mouth formed a harsh line."Lucien called me an hour ago. He's also here. He couldn't contact us since Lincoln became suspicious of him. His phone was confiscated by his men." Ayden explained, his gaze narrowed. Eleana blinked a few times as she processed Ayden's responses."What the hell! How did he get suspicious? I thought we did everything correctly. Eleana inquired, making Ayden sigh."I assume because Lucien was here with us for a time. It bothered Lincoln. Lucien was able to notify me using someone else's phone. He t
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Confronting The Enemy
Ayden took Eleana's hands in his before squeezing them lightly to warn her. Eleana diverted her eyes from the people in front of her before glancing at Ayden. His eyes were fixed on her as he slightly shook his head, telling her to compose herself. Eleana took a deep breath to calm herself before nodding her head.They both walked towards an empty table before sitting down. Ayden helped her sit down by pulling a chair for her, making her smile a little at him. He then sat next to her."I have been looking for you. Someone said that, making Eleana look at them. It was Elio. He smiled at her before taking the seat next to her."Hi, Ayden." Elio greeted Ayden when their eyes met. Ayden smiled at him before greeting him back."Hi, Champ. How have you been? He asked while pointing his hand towards Elio for a shake. Elio reached out his hand before shaking it gently with Ayden's."Pretty good. I heard you returned in the morning but didn't see you around. " Elio responded while leaning back

After the engagement party ended, Eleana waited for Antonio to be free. Ayden had left secretly to take care of her mother while she stayed in her room. No one has noticed Ayden's absence so far.Meanwhile, the more Eleana thought about her confrontation with Alessio Ricci, the angrier she got. She felt like they were all playing with her while trapping her in some web of games she wasn't aware of. It worried and frustrated her at the same time. At the moment, she felt like she didn't know any of them yet. She was missing some important points. From her mother suddenly returning to Sicily to getting attacked and then her father being kidnapped. Everything looked like life. They were well planned. There was something really big going on around her that she could not understand. The more Eleana thought about it, the more her heart became cold.She tossed around on her bed, unable to sleep.

The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Fallen Mask
The indifferent mask on Antonio's face dropped as he looked at Eleana with a hard look on his face. His eyes were piercing through her as he tried to read past the emotion she was showing on her face. He looked like he didn't believe her. Eleana let out a smile as she stepped back from him. Of course, it's not something that he could believe so easily because it hits directly at his capability and intelligence."You do not believe me, do you? Eleanor asked while turning around and showing her back to him. He didn't answer her and only kept staring at her back. While Eleana walked towards the family photo that was hanging on the wall. She stared at the photos with a small smile on the corner of her lips."Your first mistake was thinking that I wouldn't know anything about my mother before coming here. Eleana taunted with her back showing towards Antonio. She gently touched the photo of her mother just being a teen. She looked happy and carefree in the photo as he hugged her two brother

Eleana pondered over Antonio's proposal for a moment before giving in. She looked at him before nodding slightly. Antonio smiled in satisfaction after hearing her answer."But before that, I need you to promise me something. Eleana cleared her throat before speaking. Antonio paused for a moment before nodding his head."Alright." He responded with a firm nod. Eleana wet her lips with her tongue a little while Antonio waited for her to continue."You can't hide or play any games with me. Eleana told him firmly while looking him straight in the eye. Antonio's lips curled up before he nodded."I'm a man of principles, Eleana. He replied, making Eleana slightly roll her eyes. She grasped her fingers together before focusing her attention back on him with a serious expression on her face."My first question is, is Uncle Leo your biological son? Eleana asked while leaning back in her chair. Antonio's smile completely dropped as he stared at her in shock. Eleana couldn't help but chuckle whe

The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Her Dream
Eleana slowly walked towards the long mirror planned in the centre of the room before standing in front of it. Her sapphire-blue eyes collided with her reflection in the mirror. She looked a little nervous. Eleana tried to swallow it down while glancing from top to bottom. She was dressed in a white mermaid wedding gown with a sweetheart-illusion neckline. The silhouette of the dress stayed fitted from the chest to her knees and then flared out the rest of the length to the floor, along with the long veil adorning the top of her elegant bun. Eleana could feel her heart palpating against her chest as she stared at herself. Her make-up was done elegantly, and her hair was put in a beautiful low bun. She was wearing a small diamond necklace, which her mother bought for her, along with matching earrings."You look beautiful, baby." Eleana heard her mother's soft voice behind her, making her turn around. She smiled at her mother and Kathleen."Thank you, Mama. You two look gorgeous." Elean
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Baby
Eleana slowly opened her eyes before closing them again to adjust to the light. She felt like her whole body was on fire. She couldn't move at all because of the pain she was feeling in her lower body. She frowned while looking around the unfamiliar room and bed she was in. As she tried to remember what happened, her head began to hurt, making her let out a painful groan."You are awake. Don't move, Princess." Eleana heard Ayden's worried voice, making her turn around to face her. She visibly winched when she noticed his awful state. He looked absolutely awful with those dark circles and eye bags."What happened?" Eleana tried to get up while asking. Ayden was quick to react. He stopped her own time."Don't move." He warned her while gently pushing her down. Eleana frowned and was about to ask him more questions when her hand accidentally brushed her stomach, making her eyes widen in shock. Her stomach was flat."My baby!" Eleana exclaimed as flashbacks started to run through her head

"What rubbish are you talking about?" Giovanni gritted out while clenching his fists tightly. As he spoke, his facial expression changed, and he glanced at his father, who looked puzzled as well."You should know this better than me." Ayden chuckled while glancing at Lucien, who suddenly got up from his seat and then brought some documents out of nowhere. He then walked towards Leonardo and handed him all the files. Leonardo took the files with a nod before putting the documents in front of Antonio, who leaned forward and took one of the files before opening it."These are the proofs of what you, Luca, and Alessandro have been doing for years behind our backs." This time, Leonardo spoke up and then pulled out a remote from his pocket. He pressed a button, which made some piles of documents and photos flash on the screen one by one, making both Luca and Giovanni's eyes go wide in pure shock and terror. Antonio's face changed colour as the icy mask he had been putting on all along dropp

"What!" The three of them asked in unison. The rest of the family members were also shocked as they stared at Antonio in shock. The only people who were calm in the whole room were Eleana, Ayden, Lucien, and Leo. Eleana glanced at the man who sat quietly beside Antonio without much expression on his face."You guys heard me," Antonio responded coldly."How could you say that?" Giovanni couldn't contain his anger as she raised her voice at Antonio."Dad, are you out of your mind? This marriage is important for us. for our business. Everything's already done. The deals are signed. How can you just call off the marriage?" Luca roared at his father. He couldn't believe his impulsiveness. This old bastard was out of his mind."I see you two have already learned to raise your voice at me." Antonio chuckled while turning to look at Ayden. They exchanged a look before Ayden nodded and then pulled out a remote out of nowhere. He then pressed the remote, making the big black monitor light up. E
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Urgent Family Meeting
Finally, the most anticipated day arrived. It was Andres and Idalia's wedding day. The ceremony was supposed to take place in the afternoon. Even though the whole villa was busy preparing for the wedding, the members of the family were quiet, except for the younger ones. For the past two days, the wedding preparation has been going on, yet there has been no wedding vibe at all. Ayden and Lucien had been really busy for the two days, and Eleana hadn't gotten a glimpse of Ayden since the day she informed him about the things she found out from Eirene. After that, he disappeared again with Leonardo and Lucien, leaving her puzzled. The only thing he informed her was that he had a few surprises for her, which she would get on the wedding day. He just recommended that she relax and enjoy herself. Eleana was really suspicious about his behaviour. He suddenly turned oddly secretive after he rescued Lucien, and after that, he had been spending a lot of time with Leonardo. Eleana had suspicions

After successfully putting ointments on her bruise and treating her, Eleana put away the first-aid box. A long silence filled the room as Eleana looked at her sister, who was biting her lips while looking down. "Are you feeling better now?" She finally asked, breaking the silence. Eirene looked up at her before slowly nodding her head. "Do you want to talk about it?" Eleana asked gently, giving her space and time. She didn't want to force or pressure her to talk. She wanted to comfort her first so that she could talk about it on her own. At first, Eirene didn't respond. But after a minute, she reached out her hand before grabbing Eleana's hand. "Who did this to you?" Eleana asked while holding Eirene's hand. She could see her visibly shaking after hearing the question. "Eirene. I need to know who did this to you. You don't need to be scared. I'm here to protect you. Ayden's also here. No one can hurt you or us. I promise I will make them all pay. Each and every single person who da

The next day, regardless of all the chaos that had taken place previously, the whole Santoro Villa began to prepare for the upcoming wedding. The wedding was supposed to take place within the next two days. Even though there was wedding preparation going on around, the people of the villa were quite calm. Eleana couldn't feel the wedding vibe at all. Eleana was more concerned about the plan Ayden was working on. He didn't tell her everything in detail. Just some vague answers left her confused. However, Ayden had requested that she trust him and sit back. He didn't want to drag her into the plan and stress her out because of her pregnancy. She's already in a crucial state.Even though Eleana wanted to engage herself, she had no choice but to obey him this time. She had already neglected her baby, and it almost harmed her. She couldn't let this happen again. She couldn't help but sigh as she walked through the corridor to go downstairs to find Eirene. The plan Ayden was working on alon
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Explanation
After storming out of Antonio's office, Eleana directly made her way toward her bedroom. She was shaking because of anger. How could he just say something like this? Eleana wanted to leave this house as soon as possible. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself, but none of it worked."Eleana." She heard Ayden's voice calling her, which made her turn around instantly. Ayden heaved a sigh after seeing her state."Are you okay?" Ayden asked in a soft voice while walking towards her. Eleana looked at him before inhaling and exhaling deeply."How could he just demand something like that? How could he?" Eleana sounded bitter and emotional as she let out the question. Ayden reached her and then pulled her into a hug, making her wrap her arms around him slowly."It's alright. Please don't cry because of this." He pleaded while rubbing her back soothingly. Eleana let her tears flow while closing her eyes."I just can't help it, Ayden. I feel so disappointed and angry." Eleana mumbled i

Eleana's eyes slowly travelled towards Lucien, who stood behind Ayden while looking lost in his thoughts. Eleana's eyes went wide in shock when she realized she had almost forgotten about his presence. He had a white bandage covering his forehead and arms."Lucien!" Eleana called out his name, grabbing his attention. She slowly separated herself from Ayden before rushing towards him. Lucien looked at her before passing her a weak smile. His whole body was covered with bruises here and there. Eleana's heart sank deeper as she noticed his state."How did this happen?" She cried out while rushing into his arms. Lucien carefully hugged her while wincing in pain when she accidentally brushed his injured arm."I'm so sorry, Lucien." Eleana cried while hugging him. Lucien chuckled before separating her from him."It's alright, Belle. I'm fine." He replied with a wide smile while trying to show her how strong he was. It only made Eleana's heart hurt more."You need to sit first. Come with me.
